Song Yuehua did not mention the affairs of the Qi family, and only said that it was because of Taoist Master Miaoshou.
After hearing this, Master Zhou suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Xiaobao is a lucky person, but he is a little young."
"That's right." Song Yuehua said.
After a while, Lin brought a bowl of flower tea.
When I asked Zhou Ergui, I found out that he is now a well-known contractor, and many people come to the village to ask him to build houses.
"Then Uncle Ergui must be very busy. What about the work in the fields?" Song Yuehua said after taking a sip of tea.
Lin sighed, "That's right. We haven't been home for more than half a month. We can only rely on ourselves to work in the fields."
"It's not that troublesome. We can still handle it by exchanging work with the villagers," said Grandpa Zhou.
Song Yuehua turned her head and took a look at the homework Chen Lin had written.
Chen Lin's hair seemed to stand up on his back, and he turned sideways, trying to cover it.
"Why are you so cowardly!" Grandpa Zhou couldn't stand it and scolded, "Can't you learn from Brother Shu?"
Chen Lin curled his lips and looked at Song Yuehua with a wronged expression.
Song Yuehua, "..."
"Shu Ge'er passed the county exam. It's not easy to be like him." Song Yuehua said with a smile.
Speaking of Chen Shu, Grandpa Zhou smiled and said, "Brother Shu is a capable man."
Although he is a grandson, at least there is some hope.
Song Yuehua chatted in the Zhou family's yard for a while and only went back after the oil lamp was lit in the house.
The next day, Song Yuehua got up early and cooked breakfast. She waited until Xiaoyu and Dabao finished eating before she sat down at the table and ate slowly.
The courtyard gate was not closed. Granny Wang stood at the door and knocked. Song Yuehua quickly let her in.
"I just got back yesterday, and I was thinking about going to talk to you today."
Song Yuehua smiled and took Granny Wang's arm, saying, "Grandma, let's eat together."
Granny Wang waved her hand and said, "Eat your food. I know you have a lot to do. I won't delay you any longer."
"What are you talking about?" Song Yuehua poured a bowl of egg soup for Granny Wang. "I won't make tea. You can have a sip of the salty tea. Don't be disgusted."
Granny Wang felt a little embarrassed, but thinking about what she wanted to say, she had to sit down.
"I've thought about this for a long time, and I still want to hear your thoughts," said Granny Wang.
"Shitou has now been promoted to Class B, and Xiaomian has been promoted to Class C. There is no point in them continuing their studies. I think it would be better for them to learn a skill that can earn a living."
Shitou and Xiaomian are only below average in their studies. Not to mention Xiaomian, it's probably not realistic to expect Shitou to pass the imperial examination.
In the school, Shitou and Xiaomian are the most favored.
From the moment I entered school, not only was there no tuition fee, but even the writing expenses were waived.
Song Yuehua finished her egg soup and put the bowl down. "If you care about that little bit of writing, you don't have to..."
"I didn't take that into consideration," Granny Wang said quickly.
"You have helped us a lot over the years. If they were really capable, I would support them even if it cost me my life. But these two are not up to the task. It is better for them to find a way out as soon as possible."
Song Yuehua hummed softly, "What does grandma think?"
Only then did Granny Wang talk about her plan.
"I will keep Xiao Mian with me and teach her some needlework. She will find a good family in the future. As for the stones, I will ask Ergui to help me find a well digger. I will ask him to learn from me for a few years. Then she can make a living."
After she finished speaking, Granny Wang asked, "How do you think about this?"
Song Yuehua thought for a moment before saying, "Xiaoyu has an embroidery workshop in Wenzhou. If you want to rest assured, after the New Year, I will let Xiaoyu bring Xiaomian with her. The two of them can be together and take care of each other."
"As for the stone, after all, it's a bit of a waste to dig a well after he has read books and learned to read. Anyway, there is no rush. I will help him see if there are any good jobs. If he really needs to learn something, he should learn something that can make money."
It is better to learn carpentry than to learn how to dig wells. In such a small place, there are not so many wells to dig.
Granny Wang hesitated and said, "This is too much trouble for you."
Song Yuehua took Granny Wang's hand and said, "If you say such unorthodox things again, I will be angry."
"I treat you as my own grandmother. What happened between Shitou and Xiaomian is just a piece of cake. Please stop saying such inappropriate things."
Granny Wang was touched and said, "Then I'll listen to you."
Although she wanted to make plans for the younger generation, Granny Wang knew very well that she was old and did not understand many things.
The eldest girl is decisive and perceptive. Since this concerns the lives of the two younger kids, we must listen to her opinion.
"Grandma, it would be a waste if you don't drink the egg soup." Song Yuehua said.
Granny Wang drank the egg soup in the bowl, and the two of them carried the bowl to the kitchen together.
"I see you've lost some weight, so don't work too hard," said Song Yuehua.
Granny Wang laughed and said, "It's like this when you get older. I'm still pretty strong."
Dongshan.
The row houses have been built and people have moved in. There are eight large houses in a row, and Song Yuehua only took a walk around the outside.
"Who are you?" an old woman asked warily.
Just as Song Yuehua was about to speak, Yu Jiubei heard the noise, came out of the house, and quickly said, "Mother, this is the boss."
"Boss, oh!" Only then did Old Lady Yu start to laugh.
Most of the farmhands from other villages who live here bring their wives and children with them. There are also some like Yu Jiubei, whose wife has passed away, so he brings his mother and daughter with him.
Song Yuehua asked Yu Jiubei, "Is it okay to live here? Is there anything inconvenient?"
"Everything is fine, but I've never lived in such a spacious house at home." Yu Jiubei smiled naively.
